Passively cooled case

[SpyderTracks]

This is nothing new, although normally you find passive cases in micro pc's or possibly Mini-ITX, which this is, and they claim is aimed at being able to fully passively cool up to 600W, so includes pretty high end builds.

This one is a joint venture between Streacom and Calyos and is called the SG10.

Streacom's new PC case can dissipate up to 600W of thermal energy without fans

Streacom and CALYOS are set to showcase the all-new fanless SG10 PC case at Computex 2023, which can passively cool and dissipate up to 600W.

Streacom's SG10 will enable passively cooled gaming PCs.

Often these cases never live up to the hype, but there's something about this one that looks rather promising.

It's not been officially announced yet, expectation is that they'll demo it at Computex which is at the end of May.

I'll be watching this. I want to build my nephew his first gaming pc and this would be a great use case for it as it would be in his bedroom and help reduce noise.

…and this is supposedly how it will work (based on their older model)…

It's a great idea in principle....however, what they will actually deliver in practice is a completely separate matter. They have been trying to build the fanless chassis since 2017, crowdfunded it and then didn't deliver...pivoted to change the model name but which seems to be identical to the original.

I won't hold my breath until they announce production....they produced demos of the NSG S0 and didn't do anything else.

Agree on the hesitation but the fact they're actually demoing at somewhere like Computex suggests they have it ready this time, I'm optimistic, but as you rightly say, the proof is in the pudding once third party tests have been done.

…and this is supposedly how it will work (based on their older model)…

If they have gone this approach, it's not going to be cheap! Guessing around $350

If it comes with the riser and is compatible with a good number of GPUs then it seems like reasonable value, even at £300+.

It doesn't look very small though

And this is their prototype in the flesh at Computex running a 13900k and 4080

Includes a PUMPLESS GPU and CPU coldplate that purely works on convection into the finstack in the roof. Bear in mind, if you were doing a custom loop, that could easily set you back $500 without breaking a sweat.

It's pretty cool, will damn expensive though! The ballpark is around $1000!!!

Apparently they're doing a copper version as well which should transfer heat more effectively but would cost even more.

They've also got a selection of analogue meters, moving away from RGB or LCD displays, so measuring temps or whatever you want really, really nice niche idea.

Also, this is how most good premium case designers start off, doing very nich ultra expensive designs, LianLi were exactly the same, and InWin, then as they get recognition, and their brand starts permeating a bit better, they're able to ramp up production, and with it, cut costs.

i like the idea, just wondering how effective it will be to cool the components, technically its a great idea but i have been lied to before with marketing

If you watch the video they have it running furmark with a RTX4080 and 13900k and it's not breaking a sweat.

PALIT reveals fanless GeForce RTX 3050 6GB KalmX GPU with DVI port - VideoCardz.com

Palit launches first fanless RTX 3050 GPU Just as we revealed last month, PALIT is bringing back its KalmX series. This is the first GeForce RTX with fanless cooling and the first fanless KalmX since GTX 1650 series. The card is a dual-slot design with a relatively large heatsink apparently...

It's a 3050, it shouldn't need any cooling
